With Winter now upon us, it's Cross Country season. Check out the details here.


Twizel Area School Whole School Cross Country

Cross Country for the whole school will be on Tuesday 25th July, starting at 1.30 pm. The Cross Country Track will be located down at the Twizel River and students will walk in classes to the top of the river track.

To direct and supervise children, senior students and parent helpers will be located around the running track.

Students will run in their age groups and be separated into Boys and Girls. The top 6 students from each age group will be selected to compete at the Upper Waitaki Cross Country in Omarama on Monday, 31st July.
